Is aiding a fugitive in a hostage situation illegal, if it's for the hostage's safety?

Curiosity got to me after watching half an episode of Law and Order. Here was the situation:
The fugitive kidnapped a man’s wife and child (cliche, I know) and used them as leverage to have him do the fugitive’s biddings. The man agreed to help for the safety of his family.
If the man broke any laws during this time, would he be trialed for it or is he also considered a hostage?
